I'n wondering if it is possible to have Centos-7 automatically change firewall zones, depending on the network we conect to.

The way to do this is changing the zone for the network in NetworkManager.

Are there two different ways of setting firewalld zones, in firewalld and in NetworkManager? Which is taken if they differ?

They can't differ — the configuration is stored in the ifcfg files, no matter how you set it.

I find the firewalld definition of "zones" rather confusing. I run shorewall on my home server, and that seems to me to have a much simpler definition of zones.

Think of "zone" as "set of presets".
